IT can be plainly seen by the fol,
lowing that President Cleveland has
more Union soldiers to of
flee than any other President since the
war. H. c. Bell, Chief of the Agents
Division of the Pension Office, said to
a reporter of the Cincinnati Enquirer
the other day. in speaking of the
number of pensions by the different
Presidents:
First, as to private pension acts.
Let US compare his work with that of
his predecessors. and see which has
done most to deserve the gratitude and
thanks of the Union soldiers of the
late war, in this regard. Gen. Grant,
from 1870 to 1877, inclusive. period
of eight years, approved 485 private
pension acts Mr.. Hayes, from 1877
to 1881 inclusive, "a period of four years,
approved 303 private pension acts.
Presidents Garfield and Arthur, from
1882 to 1885, inclusive, period of four
years, approved 709 private pension
acts, while President Cleveland, from
1885 to 1887 inclusive. q period of only
two wears, approved 836 private PEN
sion acts. This is n more than Presi-
dent Grant and M. Hayes approved
in twelve years, and 127 more than
Presidents Garfield and Arthur ap-
proved in four years. These figures
are taken by actual count from the
records of the United States, and are
correct"

TEE Pittsburg Post says /:

+" The war record of General Tuttle
In being overhauled, and 1t is found he
was invited to resign from the army
in 1854, under a very black cloud OF
completely in an attempt to blackmail
a planter who had secured permission
TO send $lo0, 900 worth of cotton down
the Mississippi to New Orleans. The
evidence seems to leave no doubt OF
his guilt"
In this connection the Enquirer puts
the question:
"Why does not the Grand Army OF
the Republic take up the charges made
against General Tuttle, Of disgraceful
conduct during the war? 1t would
certainly seem as if he ought either to
be vindicated or discharged from the
orQanization.o

for the Leaders First
KOorback.
The Cleveland Leader Of July 9th,
contains the following editorials:
dewitt G. Coo,man Is the Demo-
cratic candidate for Lieut.. Governor.
He is also the proprietor OF the Dla-
mand Glass works at Ravenna, and q
rabid free trader. In common with
all other Democrats. he processes the.
greatest regard forthe laboring man,
and is beginning to beleh out Demo.
cratic hypecracy and long faced cant
on what the Rourbons have done.1or
labor. He says very little however
about what d 9 Goldman has done,
for the simple reason that he has run
his works for years largely by import.
ed contract labor. That's the kind OF
a friend of labor Goldman is.
1t is expected that the Republican
Press will stop at nothing, and stoop
to any thing, to detract from theexoel-
lence of 1hs Democratic ticket. 1t is
hardly possible to be able to refute
them as they appear. but the above
bald faced assertion by the Leader is
SO palpably falsehosd, and SO easily
susceptible OF refutation. that we are
constrained to state the facts, -
No foreign contract labor. has suer
been employed at the Diamond Glass
works. Every blower, gatherer, fiat
tener and cutter is now. and always
have been members of the ,sAmerican
Association of window Glass Work
ers, y and most of them have been here
fifteen years. Mr. Goldman consults
his employees in all matters pertaining
to their mutual welfare. and when in
need of additional force, secures good
men at short notice through the Pres
ident of the L. A. No 800. at 1905 Cor
SON street, Pittsburgh, Pa. Any work
man who has any doubs on this sub
ject should write MIR. Geo. Oracle. Sec
of the Association, at the above ad
dress. The employees at the Diamond
Glass Works are justly indignant a
the Leaders assertion, deeming it
reflection upon themselves as well al
Mr.. Goldman. We hope the Leade
was simply misinformed and that !
did not deliberately falsify. in thi
matter. The Republican press of tn
State have already commenced to cop!
the falsehood. and we hope that the.
will give equal publicity to the facts a
i here stated. -s.. -.
